I have another confession to make (I say “another” because once upon a time I confessed that I was addicted to sugar. I have since ALMOST overcome that addiction, just FYI).
Anyways, back to my confession….I am DEATHLY afraid of whales.
I had to call G at work today to tell him about this nightmare I had last night that literally left me sweating/crying in my sleep. I dreamt him & I were on a rowboat in the ocean & somehow I fell out of the boat (first of all, a ROWBOAT in the OCEAN?). Anyways, I fell out & immediately starting flipping out because I didn’t want to get eaten by a whale. Well in my dream, G was annoyed with me that I was so afraid of them (kind of similar to the way he feels about this completely irrational fear in real life) so he made me stay in the water. He continued rowing along & I was forced to hold on to the back of the row boat and let him drag me behind the boat in the water. Sure enough, the next thing I knew a whale swam up beside me (this is so pathetic, but I still get nervous thinking about that whale from my dream, oh my gosh, I was horrified). Anyways, the whale swam up & I yelled for G to pull me back into the boat, but he wouldn’t because he wanted me to get over the fear. I told him that I was sure the whale was going to eat me & he better pull me in, but again, he refused. Well, can you guess what happened? Yup, the whale opened up & swallowed me whole. (and then G captured the huge creature, pulled him onto the shore, cut open his belly & freed me! But, that's besides the point--I totally got EATEN!!) Anyways, it was awful! I was telling a friend at work about this today & she just laughed and laughed because we all know that whales don’t eat people (they don't even eat fish!) and they are seriously not threatening at all, but for some reason, I just am so afraid of them.
This is seriously a pointless post, but I am going to email my dream to “Lori from the dream zone” (from ZHT, anyone? anyone?) and see what she has to say about it. She’ll probably say something stupid & obvious like , “Do you feel like something is eating away at you in waking life?" (lol, Kiersti), but nonetheless, I want to see what she says. If anyone has any insight into my dream feel free to share. I seriously can't believe I just wrote that whole thing out, I need to get some hobbies.

The End.
that is so hilarious! i think whales are scary too- they're just SO big... and you never know maybe one day they would decided humans sounded good to eat?! just take this as a sign- never go rowboating with G in the ocean.
ReplyDeleteI am laughing so hard and I totally shouldn't be because I am petrified by large fish. Ok-swimming with any size fish in general.
ReplyDeleteI have no insight into your dream but that is seriously freaky to dream of being eaten. I don't think I've EVER heard of anyone dreaming they've been eaten before.
Clay is so the same-he would leave me in the water too. Psychopath! Why don't they understand that fish are slimy, disgusting and should not be seen ANYWERE but on my plate? Mmmm,salmon.
bah ha ha thats hilarious! Im so glad im not the only one terrified of the ocean. Ever since I got caught in the undertoe a couple years ago back in Hawaii I dont think ive gotten in past my knees again. Except for a month ago me and josh were kayaking in hawaii before we moved here and he tipped our kayak over in the middle of the ocean. Lets just say we werent married for a few hours after that.
ReplyDeleteLori might also say something like "Maybe it's a whale of a problem you're having in your life" - do you have a 'whale' of a problem?
ReplyDeleteI don't know anything about dreams really, but I do think that your crazy dream may have something to do with all the paint thinner fumes you were exposed to that night!! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean Whales don't eat people? Ever heard of Jona? Anyway, that really is freaky-having nightmares of your worst nightmare are the worst. lol
ReplyDeleteDid you ever have a scary experience regarding whales when you were a kid?? Usually these kind of fears stem from something like that.. But, enough of my "pscyhobabble" - I think you should be proud that your irrational fear is of whales and not something really irrational like pencils!
ReplyDeleteRegarding your post below... are you guys moving? Or am I so clueless and you've already moved? What is going on?
